LEAH SENIOR
Australian-based folk singer Leah Senior silences audiences with vivid lyricism and a voice that soars with a disarmingly honest Sandy Denny-like clarity. Leah Senior effortlessly weaves together spring-baroque pop with crisply picked, wistful folk. Her fourth album The Music That I Make (2023, Poison City Records) reveals Leah at her most intimate, her songs a cycle of vulnerable meditations on what it means to create.
The Music That I Make transports the listener to her sandstone shack in Anglesea, where autumn British folk meets rain streaked AM radio. Leah’s previous three albums The Passing Scene, Pretty Faces and Summer’s On The Ground were released through Flightless Records. An auspicious late night encounter with King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard saw Leah Senior joining their independent label. Hailed by critics as a divine masterpiece, her music lilts between spring time baroque-pop and 70s folk, effortlessly weaving together themes of impermanence, the natural world, loss and ultimately hope.
